“But he has nothing on at all,” said a little child at last. . . . and one whispered to the other what the child had said. “But he has nothing on at all,” cried at last the whole people. That made a deep impression upon the emperor, for it seemed to him that they were right; but he thought to himself, “Now I must bear up to the end.” And the chamberlains walked with still greater dignity, as if they carried the train which did not exist.

Democracy Now! | Former Labour MP Tony Benn on how Britain Secretly Helped Israel Build Its Nuclear Arsenal
Democracy Now! | Former Labour MP Tony Benn on how Britain Secretly Helped Israel Build Its Nuclear Arsenal: "It wasn’t put to ministers. I mean, this is the trouble with the nuclear industry, I came not to believe what I was told, and that throws a doubt on more than nuclear power: the question of democracy, if officials can operate as a state within a state. Where is the democratic control of policy? So it was a very, very serious thing to happen. And, of course, it also comes up at a time when, as you've been pointing out, there's a lot of pressure now on Iran not to develop nuclear technology in any form."
